Well, good afternoon guys from Ehrenberg, Arizona. And we're hooking up with our
old friend; "Chris travels" in his schooling project. And.... Your main channel
is tiny home tours but now you have the Schooling build, off-grid schooling. So you can
check out those channels as well to see everything that is going on here!...It's come a
long way since we saw you in Colorado...Yeah!...Good progress...Basically picking up the bus to where it is now on the
off-grid schooling. Tiny home tours is basically where I've built this bus to travel the US...
Getting content for tiny home tours.... That's great!...Ahhh... So... We are doing a game of
20 questions with full-time RVers... I use RV loosely, recreational vehicle!
This is a recreation vehicle.... Exactly! Nomads living on the road
full-time.... So...The name of the game is: "20 questions."... We are using the generic
version of cards against humanity' crabs adjust humidity for our cards... And let's
just jump right in!... Yeah let's do it! Number one: Alright, card number one... Who are
you? I'm Chris. Been living on the road on and off for four years, full time
for about six years now! So... that's who I am. That pretty much
encapsulate that! And what about spiritually and ahhh...
Subjective on a deeper level. Who is Chris?
I mean that's pretty much it! Just on the road, hustling every day, trying
to make this lifestyle work! That's been my ethos for the last two years or so... So
I'd say that pretty much wraps it up!... Awesome.... Number 2?...RV toilet paper?... I
use... It's a brand on Amazon. I don't know what it is, I just type in RV toilet
paper and it comes up! It's a large pack. It's like 40 bucks and it lasts six
months to a year. I got a nature's head composting toilet.
I've just been using that and everything works out really well with that RV
toilet paper!... Okay...I don't know the brand...It reminds me when
my internet works, I'll have to add it to the Amazon cart after this.... So number 3:
Number 3: Favourite RV themed movie?
"Into the wilds."...I kind of like that because he died in a recreational vehicle... Yeah... Ish...
That's my favourite movie! I know that guy gets a lot of lots of crap for what he
did but ahhh.... Him and Anthony Bourdain were two people who both died actually...Ahhh.. Two people
that really influenced me. I would not have studied abroad without watching
Anthony Bourdain or reservations back in the day in small town Indiana and.... Just
getting out there and getting after it. Not so much in the work side but... Just going
out there and really living every day and doing it your own way was into the
wild. So I've read the book! There's another book out right now that his
family and... A couple of people put together. Took all his photos and all his
notes and actually did it step by step. So the stuff is not in the movie. His
true thought process can be seen in that book... Yeah!... I think it's back to the wild...
We're totally intrigued by the story as well...Is it crack hour?..No... The producers?... It his parents...
Okay...It's his family put that together!.. Cool...Question number 4:
What are you're RVing regrets?... Buying a class A Motorhome is the biggest RV
regret that I have! I just assumed getting a newer, nicer, RV
there wouldn't be any issues. And I'll just be able to travel on the road and not
worry about anything.... It just ended up being a big money pit!
Granted it mechanically it was solid! The engine transmission was solid. It's just
the actual components and that's the reason why I built this bus. Because
everything here is three quarter. I built this with the best building materials I
could possibly get. And I didn't have to worry about weight. So I did this entire
build, didn't have any... Had a little bit of water in the tanks, had 200 gallons
of fresh water. But without the 200 gallons of fresh water and my brother
and all his stuff and my dog, we were at 29,300 pounds. And my total carrying
capacity was 36. I was able to build this rig. So I reckon in that class A it
wasn't what I thought. And ahhh...How I suggest doing a school in class A if
you have the cash.... You know I think a lot of motorhomes go wrong and trailers when
they go for the light effect. Light means thinner pieces of wood, shorter screws...
Yeah!...And yeah, if you're gonna look at something for full timing anything that
says "light" is trouble!...Yeah. Well, I mean it's... If people are just doing weekends...
Like I guess we should specify. If you're actually living in your vehicle that's a
little different ballgame! If you're going out with the kids, three weekends a
year... Yeah... Light is perfect!... Yeah but if you're actually living in it, absolutely
not!.... Something that will last.... Yeah!... Question number 5: ..Yes... What is
your dream RV?.. The one that I have!... Yeah...Yeah! The one you're working on right now!
I'm making my dream.... Everybody builds their own dream right?... Well, I think that
goes deeper than that initial statement! You're right...Uhhmm... Least favourite RV chore?
Painting!.... Yeah! The prep work or the actual painting part?... I like prep work!... Really?
Because I hate prep work but I love rolling that stuff on... Well I just listen to...
Sorry, go ahead.... We should partner up here because we hate the prep work but we
love the painting!..... Number 7: How do you make a living?...Ahhh... Multiple income
sources! Real estate, YouTube, online retail, selling of courses...
What else?.... He just launched a new course. Right?.... Yes!... Congratulations!... Thank you!
Let's give it a plug...What course is it?... It's ahhh...A school academy... So we're starting out with what
to know before you buy a school bus ahh... Lots of people think; "Oh, I'm just gonna
buy a twenty five hundred school bus. They don't realize, if the pressure
pump goes out that's a three thousand dollar part not including labour to get
it fixed! That's not including... Tires, not including air compressor, all your fan...
Like people have no idea so essentially... People can learn from our
mistakes. What red flags to look for so say if you go to an auction and something's
leaking somewhere, you're able to be like: "Oh, okay that's, that's a $1,500 part. I'm
not getting this bus." And just tips and tricks. Like I saved myself from buying a
bus that had a blown engine just by calling into the school district. And asking for
the maintenance department and getting there... Then asking for the lien mechanic
just like so what's up with bus 766? He's like: "Oh! There's oil in the... Water in the
oil that's gonna need a complete rebuild. You know, so I saved myself from that so
just teaching the people all the little tips and tricks. What to look for and
then eventually in April, we're gonna be filming a roof race course. So basically
we're gonna get ahhh... Just a regular bus, completely tear it apart, cut it in half...
Raise the roof, put the sheet metal on the side and show
step-by-step how that's done!...Ooh cool!... So it's gonna be a continuous course. But
this one's just what to know before you
buy... Oh so lots of different income sources!
The overall to make a long story short... Most people with salaries they have one
horse and one bucket they're trying to fill it up.I have 20 buckets out in the yard
catching rain and filling that up at the end of the month into income...The average millionaire has 7 income streams right?....Well...
Hopefully I'll make it there someday!... I like to think yeah... You're all, you're
just trying to make it all add up to a buck. So you're gonna pick up some
pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters. And at the end of the day the goal is
taking it, add up to a buck... Absolutely! Passive to... Yep!.... You can work on it if you want, if
you don't, whatever!.... Exactly... Number 8... Number one piece of advice for new...
For new RV youtubers....Ahh... you're gonna have to have grip! It's a long game!
You think you're rich quick then ahhh...Some people do it but they're the exception
that proves the rule! You got to put the time and effort into and do
collaborations... Yeah!... And I got to give you a shout out of our first collaborations
we're with you up in Alaska... Oh yeah!..Four years ago!... I've been a fan of
collaborations for a long time!.... It's been a long road!... It's helped a lot!... Number
9:....Mm-hmm... How long do you plan to RV the rest of
my life?.... As long as I'm able!.... This one's gonna last 20 years right?
At least?.... Oh! The framework of this thing...Knock on wood...Yeah... That's what I'm
building it for!.... I know that's what you told us.... Favourite RV hack?... Well, I gotta use
my own RV ahh... It's just off-the-grid living! My costs right now are $40 a day.
Everything included! And... It's being able to live off the grid out here! Getting
the solar hooked up now, 200 gallons of fresh water, just buy a bunch of food
at the beginning of the month. And you're out here living for free, you're able to work on
what you want to work on, you have content out here you can shoot! It's just
the off-grid lifestyle, making money online!.... Yeah, awesome...Number 11..Ahhh 11.. Least
favourite RV States?....Anything east of Colorado!.... You and Ben... We both like the West. But we
like Kansas for RVing....Well, family's there of course ....I don't know! 12?.... Yes!
Something you binge-watched?... Manic! Actually black mirror and manic. I kind of
liked the psychological TV shows. I hate fluff! I like shows that make me think
two or three days afterwards. So black mirror is fantastic for that! I highly
suggest that. Netflix and manic was also a fantastic one. I'll probably re-watch!
It's kind of out there. It's different! Makes you think even when you go to
bed, you have dreams about it. I love shows like that!.. Number 13! Motivation for
RVing?... Doing what I'm doing now. Just living off the grid, out camping, seeing
new spots and ahhh...Taking advantage of everyday!...Nice?...Was that it initially?
Yeah... Yeah!... Yeah mm-hmm....Fresh out of college kind of what was about... Mm-hmm yeah!
Just seeing what's out there cheaply... Nice... Absolutely!... 14: Who inspired you to
YouTube? There was a couple of channels! When I first started YouTube is certainly not
what it is now! 2009 was... I mean there's people before that but...There was
Jeff the Canuck and Kyle pounds. And... I never get on YouTube and watch anything
because I'm so busy doing my own stuff! I don't know if they're still doing it...
But those are the two guys that... Cool... Influenced me.... Number 15.... Number 15: What
are your pet peeves?... People that talk about it but not be about it!... Mmm-hhh... That is
one of my biggest pet peeves. You say you're gonna do it, do it!.... Or complain
about something but not taking any action to fix it.....
Yeah! That as well. Same... Yeah! Same thing...Mm-hmm
Same, same!... 16?... Yes number 16: Convection or propane oven?..Propane!... Mmmhh easily!... Us to!
17...17...What stinks in the RV?..The sink! Actually, more than anything else, compost
doesn't stink at all! If you need nature's head, hit me up!.... Okay!... So the
sink, is there ventilation issues or.... No! It's like literally the only thing that
smells in here! Really... Like I'm just trying to... The only
smell that comes from anything in this RV is the sink and me when I'm
having a shower. Because my solar is not hooked up and I don't have hot water.. 18:
18... 18: How often do you shower?..Well that falls right in there... So since I... It's been a
little bit more chilly because I have been doing cold showers in here. If I do
get sticky enough, I can't stand that! I try and shower every day if not every
other day. When I do get into actually getting this done and working.. I plan on
working out every day. Like yoga workout, yoga workout. Like weight resistance...
Running... So I, after I run I can't sleep if I'm sticky or sweaty. So I'll be
showering probably every day or every other day! And you have the water
capacity to do so?... I have 200 gallons. I do military showers, low gallon per
minute shower head so... Even though I have 200 gallons, I'll still be conserving it!
And I have sea level tank monitors so I can actually see the percentage of the
tanks. That'll you know, once I do my first boondocking trip, I might just do a
month out boondocking. And see how long I can last once all this solar is hooked up!
Nice... So we'll see how that goes!...Sounds like a fun trip!... Oh yeah!..19... Number 19: Something you
don't know about me? I enjoy anime. Certain anime... I never knew
that!..Yeah! Cowboy bebop is amazing if you want to check one out and Fooly Cooly
FLCL... Pretty cool!..Oh, how awesome!.. Is this the last one?..Number 20: What song best
represents you?... Ramble on by Led Zeppelin... Alright Chris! Thank you so much
for participating...20 Questions: Never done that before!...Now you have the privilege of closing this video
out... A shout out to your channels and ours. And all those normal...Yeah, yeah no..
It's just the off-grid schooling, tiny home tours and Chris travels on Facebook.
Chris travels if you are on Facebook. I know some people are taking an exodus
out of Facebook right now but that is the umbrella platform that I have. Where
everything gets posted there! YouTube videos, Instagram, Twitter.. Basically all
the happenings is on Facebook. Check it out there! So thanks for watching... Alright!
Thanks...Thank you buddy!...That's fun... Yeah, yeah!
Some of the personal questions, just to give people added insight into who they
watch! That's probably one of
